It is unfortunate to think of how many soldiers return home to nothing or nobody. It’s heartbreaking to know how many soldiers come home just to end up on the streets homeless, rejected and forgotten by society after all they have done for us. If you ever see a soldier, in uniform or not, anywhere at anytime, make sure to at least say thank you if not shake their hand as well.
